I predict they will add animatronic mechanisms to Hugo Chavez's mummified corpse within a few years. We have the technology! Some might think using a dead person as a puppet to say things with their authority is ridiculous. It may be, but ridiculousness doesn't stop people from doing it.

"My heart is always full of Lenin. Comrades, I could survive the most difficult moments only because I carried Lenin in my heart, and always consulted him on what to do. Yesterday I consulted him. He was standing there before me as if he were alive, and he said: "It is unpleasant to be next to Stalin, who did so much harm to the party."

While Communists are officially atheist, it is apparently okay to take counsel from ghosts.

About Me

Col. Milquetoast was one of the thousands of monkeys banging on typewriters since the mid-seventies trying to recreate Macbeth. Having become disaffected by the intense pressure involved, his complete lack of talent and his superior's refusal to make use of his prehensile tail he quit to lead a simple but mostly contented life in the midwest. Occasionally he writes in third person when there was no good reason not to write in first person.
